That's a great drawing Sail! I love the cream and blue together. Have you thought about doing a drawing just like that (meaning all the same process), and then taking away your black lines, leaving just color to show your figure? Just curious how that might look. To me, this drawing seems a lot more built up than most of your work, like you're getting into modeling the form in shadows, like painting. The angle of the lower torso line makes me think that she's got a tail that's going to flick around her arm. The Collectanea word is cool. When I first read it, I was a little unsure it's meaning, and replaced it with "collectible" in my mind, which made me think of this beautiful drawing as a porceline doll on a shelf.

Yeah, I've done some stuff that is sans black lines but I'm never very happy with it. I'll fuck around with it more and post something like that soon. I go in and out of what's interesting to me... so, it's ever shifting. But I've been painting a bit mroe lately. Still getting the sea legs after not painting much lately. Inking hell and all. I love painting. And I've got that new watercolor moleskin to fill up. I'm always ridiculously nervous when starting a new book though.

The colors on this one are totally Photoshop. I had to remove the paper buckling and that's how the colors ended up after the adjustments. I liked it better than the coffee brown it started as... I still don't know why that blue came in, but I'm glad it did. Not a color combo I'd have ever thought of. God bless digital adjustments!

Also, I stuck Collectanea on the pic for no reason. It's got nothing to do with the drawing. The drawing was just a doodle I did while I was thinking about titles. Looks nice though
